Well everyone is overrated and underrated, depends on who's rating them.
The ones that strike me as too highly ranked by The Ring on their "Top 80 Fighters of the Last 80 Years" list in 2002, are Jack Dempsey, Aaron Pryor, and Rocky Marciano. Marciano often gets too much **** in general, but still I think 12 is too high. They said they didn't rank Jack Johnson because most of his work was done before 1922, but Dempsey is at 16, and he barely did **** from 1922-on. Even if he did, 16 is too high. Pryor at 35 is too high, and Legendary Nights caused him to be even more overrated on boxing forums.

He was somewhat vulnerable to a straight right hand, but rarely took beatings in the ring. He had good parrying ability which PBF found hard to get through. He had solid footwork so he rarely got cut off on the ropes when facing an attacking fighter.
The only fights he fought which could be classified as wars were Mosley I, Vargas (and even that was less so since DLH's rounds were won by outboxing Vargas at range), and a stretch to say Chavez II.
And no, 10 rounds of posing against Quartey doesn't count as a "war".Comment

DLH was a warrior, till the PBF fight where at times he looked like he was makin a war out of it but in reality PBF was blocking those shots. Look at the final round of the PBF-DLH fight, DLH goes with a fury of punches and the crowd goes wild and NONE landed...the only one he landed on Money May was a cross right handComment
